BLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION

Since Norf is up,
An’ Souf is down,
An’ Hebben is up,
I’m upward boun’.*
They came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North, leaving the South because of economic hardship, poor educational opportunities, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations, but few more so that Detroit, its institutions and its cultures, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.

This exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants, housing and jobs, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University), the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, the Detroit News, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.

*From the poem, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

Selected Works from the 22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners (May 5, 2017 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/40665 40665-8684983@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 5, 2017 8:00am
Location: Detroit Center
Organized By: University of Michigan Detroit Center

Located in the Lester P. Monts Gallery of the Detroit Center, the Selected Works from the 22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners includes a guest reading on Saturday, May 20 from"Concertina MAZE: Michigan Review of Prisoner Creative Writing, Volume 9."

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The first Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners was held in the University of Michigan Rackham Galleries in February 1996. Seventy works by 50 artists from 16 Michigan prisons were exhibited that year. This year, the exhibition’s 22nd consecutive year, we displayed 550 works of art by 450 artists on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan. We encourage you to have conversations with the artists by reading the artist statements

HOW THE SHOW COMES TOGETHER

Each year, the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) submits a formal request to the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) to hold the exhibition. Once the exhibit is approved, we send a call for submissions directly to artists and to staff at each of Michigan’s 28 prisons. Artists work independently, using supplies they have purchased themselves, to create their work. Art selection teams made up of Curators, Staff, Students, and Volunteers travel to each prison to meet with artists, select work and provide feedback and support to artists regardless of whether their work is selected. Our goal is to be inclusive while maintaining a high level of quality and diverse work.

Most work is for sale at our exhibition in Ann Arbor and artists receive the full amount, less any mandatory fees and taxes. PCAP does not take a percentage of sales. You can purchase artwork at the gallery desk. A red dot on the label indicates a work has been sold.

A team of judges has recognized several works with awards. These are the works you see at this exhibition here at the University of Michigan Detroit Center. A distinct set of awards are given to artists at the women’s prison. These pieces are not for sale at this exhibition.

After the exhibition, the unsold artwork is shipped to a contact person specified by the artist. Once artwork has left the facilities, it cannot return inside. PCAP sends each artist a packet of exhibit promotional materials, notification of any sales, a certificate, and a copy of the guest book. Each facility receives a DVD of the opening reception and a slideshow of each piece of artwork so that artists can see the exhibit.

We encourage you to have conversations with the artists by reading the artist statements

HOW THE SHOW COMES TOGETHER

Each year, the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) submits a formal request to the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) to hold the exhibition. Once the exhibit is approved, we send a call for submissions directly to artists and to staff at each of Michigan’s 28 prisons. Artists work independently, using supplies they have purchased themselves, to create their work. Art selection teams made up of Curators, Staff, Students, and Volunteers travel to each prison to meet with artists, select work and provide feedback and support to artists regardless of whether their work is selected. Our goal is to be inclusive while maintaining a high level of quality and diverse work.

Most work is for sale at our exhibition in Ann Arbor and artists receive the full amount, less any mandatory fees and taxes. PCAP does not take a percentage of sales. You can purchase artwork at the gallery desk. A red dot on the label indicates a work has been sold.

A team of judges has recognized several works with awards. These are the works you see at this exhibition here at the University of Michigan Detroit Center. A distinct set of awards are given to artists at the women’s prison. These pieces are not for sale at this exhibition.

After the exhibition, the unsold artwork is shipped to a contact person specified by the artist. Once artwork has left the facilities, it cannot return inside. PCAP sends each artist a packet of exhibit promotional materials, notification of any sales, a certificate, and a copy of the guest book. Each facility receives a DVD of the opening reception and a slideshow of each piece of artwork so that artists can see the exhibit.

Once the exhibit is approved, we send a call for submissions directly to artists and to staff at each of Michigan’s 28 prisons. Artists work independently, using supplies they have purchased themselves, to create their work. Art selection teams made up of Curators, Staff, Students, and Volunteers travel to each prison to meet with artists, select work and provide feedback and support to artists regardless of whether their work is selected. Our goal is to be inclusive while maintaining a high level of quality and diverse work.

Most work is for sale at our exhibition in Ann Arbor and artists receive the full amount, less any mandatory fees and taxes. PCAP does not take a percentage of sales. You can purchase artwork at the gallery desk. A red dot on the label indicates a work has been sold.

A team of judges has recognized several works with awards. These are the works you see at this exhibition here at the University of Michigan Detroit Center. A distinct set of awards are given to artists at the women’s prison. These pieces are not for sale at this exhibition.

After the exhibition, the unsold artwork is shipped to a contact person specified by the artist. Once artwork has left the facilities, it cannot return inside. PCAP sends each artist a packet of exhibit promotional materials, notification of any sales, a certificate, and a copy of the guest book. Each facility receives a DVD of the opening reception and a slideshow of each piece of artwork so that artists can see the exhibit.

RONALD D. GLOTTA
Ronald D. Glotta defines himself as an attorney who believes in the militant representation of workers against the ravages of capitalism. Over the past five decades, he has honed his expertise in the areas of workers' compensation law and social security law. He has spent the majority of his career at the helm of Glotta & Associates, a law firm located in Detroit, Mich. There, he maintains a large and loyal clientele comprised of more than 100 clients.

Mr. Glotta earned a JD from the University of Michigan in 1966 after receiving a Bachelor of Arts from The University of Kansas. After graduating from law school, he was hired by a workers' compensation firm in Muskegon, Mich. "I felt like a fish thrown in water - it was exactly what I wanted to do," he says. He soon established his own law firm in order to provide the best possible services to his clients. In recognition of his commendable work, Mr. Glotta has been repeatedly distinguished as an AV® Preeminent™ Attorney by Martindale-Hubbell®. He is also a member of the Michigan Association for Justice.

In addition to his work in the office and courtroom, Mr. Glotta is the author of "The Road to Hell Is Not Paved with Good Intentions." The book examines societal structures in the United States that abuse and oppress basic human freedoms. More information about the book can be found on his firm's website, and theroadtohellonline.com. Both sites feature articles and audio commentaries by Mr. Glotta as well. He has also been quoted in the following publications: "Muscle and Blood: The Massive Hidden Agony of Industrial Slaughter in America," by Rachel Scott; "Black Rage: Two Black Psychiatrists Reveal the Full Dimensions of the Inner Conflicts and the Desperation of Black Life in the United States," by William Grier; "Whose Detroit? Politics, Labor, and Race in a Modern American City," by Heather Thompson; and, "Detroit: I Do Mind Dying: A Study in Urban Revolution," by Dan Georgakas and Marvin Surkin. "My position is that every human being wants to believe that their life has importance. The way you do that is by making a difference," Mr. Glotta notes. "Struggling for a decent human society is the way that I do it."

"A big-hearted Williams one-act about love and heroism, staged with West African flair in a performance full of vibrant song and dance, perfectly suited to the outdoor marketplace."

The University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) hosts the National Theatre of Ghana in residence from September 12-17, featuring a series of open air performances of 10 Blocks on the Camino Real, written by Tennessee Williams. In this one-act play, song, dialogue and dance are used to tell the story of how the American hero Kilroy enters the pantheon of heroes by losing his innocence. The plaza of Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is a crossroads of world theater, drawing on Williams’ experiences in Mexico, and inspired by German theater, Chinese opera and commedia del’arte. Ghana is the source and setting for this new production, directed by David Kaplan, curator of the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival. While the spoken English text is performed as written by Williams, Spanish songs and Spanish words have been translated to Ghanaian songs and Ghanaian languages. Don Quixote has become Okomfo Okokye, the founder of the Ashanti line of kings, who finds his sidekick, Osei-tutu. Other Spanish details are exchanged for Ghanaian specifics: pesos for pesewas, fiesta for jubilee. The presiding musician plays two blue djembe drums, rather than a blue guitar.

Established in 1983 at the University of Ghana at Legon, the professional theater company once known as “Abibigromma” became the resident troupe of the National Theatre of Ghana in 1991. The focus of the company is to develop a rich blend of music, dance, mime, movement, and dialogue with a strong social, spiritual and folkloric base. In addition to performances and class visits throughout the week, they will give a workshop for the public at the Residential College on Wednesday, September 13 at 4pm in the East Quad Keene Theater, and will also work with students at Ann Arbor’s Community High School, and Mosaic Youth Theater in Detroit.
CWPS aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Ghanaian outdoor productions here in Michigan, staging performances in four outdoor venues through the week. These include:


Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market

Location: Trotter Multicultural Center
Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

FOKUS is a student organization on campus whose mission is to educate, empower, and unite communities using the arts.

Come meet the CRU and learn more about what we do on Thursday, September 21, 2017, at 6 pm (2437 Mason Hall). For more information, e-mail elguerra@umich.edu or hit us up on facebook page or visit our website at fokus.org

OUR STORY
FOKUS increases the awareness of and access to art disciplines by providing unique ways for people of all ages to access the arts. Our primary goal is not to create the next famous artists but simply to allow individuals to understand what their creative talents are and apply this knowledge to their educational, professional and personal life. We create and expose communities to the arts through arts education, community art events, and an online magazine. This helps people understand their innate creativity and develop their talents so that they can maximize their potential for future success. The arts teach you how to create something from nothing and this innovative trait is what leads to success.

The cities of Berlin and Detroit are full of amazing artists. Very much in the same way in which Berlin was regarded as the subcultural capital of the world some 15 or 20 years ago, when artists were flocking to it because of affordable space, bringing with them an incredible energy and of course many talents and abilities, you can feel a certain kind of energy when you travel to Detroit these days. It is rough and at the same time interesting and beautiful. Grimy and at the same time elegant and free. It is a place where devastation is still visible alongside new opportunities. Opportunities for artists, activists and resistance movements to help turn the city into the magnificent place it could be in order to make things better for all of its residents.

From September 11th to September 20th, 2016 artists from Berlin and Detroit, poets, emcees, singer/songwriters, beat producers, came together in Detroit in order to get to know one another and to create. During that period, they also visited the University of Michigan and ran workshops and Q&A sessions with our students. In June of 2017, they got back together, this time in Berlin in order to present what had been created in Detroit, including an album, music videos, and a documentary about the visit. For more information, please visit the project website at http://be-troit.com/, and the Be-Troit blog at http://gangway.de/en/betroit-blog-jugendaustausch-berlin-detroit-vom-11-24-9-2016/; a trailer for the documentary is at https://vimeo.com/215179507.

Now a delegation returns to present the amazing work that came out of this unique collaboration between Berlin- and Detroit-based artists. Please join us for a screening of Philip Halver’s inspiring documentary, artist performances, and a Q&A with BeTroit participants.

This event is free and open to the public.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Germanic department (germandept@umich.edu or 734-764-8018) at least 4 days in advance. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for U-M to arrange.

Detroit '67: The View from Ann Arbor (September 28, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44155 44155-9889004@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 28, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

A complement to the Reverberations of Rebellion exhibit on display in the Hatcher North lobby, this event brings together veterans of the '60s era of civil rights activism in Ann Arbor to reflect on that period's struggle for racial justice, the relationship between Ann Arbor and Detroit, and what it might mean for us today.

In the 1960s as today, Detroit and Ann Arbor were very different cities. Yet they were alike in two respects: both were profoundly segregated by race, and both were centers of activism to dismantle racism and inequality. Despite Ann Arbor's distance from Detroit, the 1967 Detroit rebellion resonated here as well.

The discussion will be moderated by Matt Lassiter, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History, and feature the following panelists:
* Shirley Beckley, Ann Arbor native and Ann Arbor Human Relations Commission staff member, 1967-8
* Trey Greene, U-M '71; negotiator in '68 black student sit-in and son of Walter Greene, deputy director, Michigan Civil Rights Commission
* Anna Holden, U-M Institute for Social Research 1960-63; former secretary, Ann Arbor Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)
* Alma Wheeler Smith, U-M '63; former state representative and daughter of Albert Wheeler, first African American mayor of Ann Arbor and first tenured black U-M professor

Light refreshments will be provided.

*The Com•mons /kämənz/ Plural Noun: land or resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community.

Co-curated this semester by Diana Copeland, Will Copeland and Craig Regester, this interactive public course will focus in the first three sessions on the interconnected crises facing everyday Detroiters around water shutoffs, home foreclosures, public schooling, labor and gentrification.

In the last five sessions, however, we'll turn to an exploration and further creative development of the many grassroots community responses happening in Detroit that are pushing back against efforts to privatize practically everything in the City.

More info on speakers to come soon!

As always, all sessions are free and open the public & include a light dinner.

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

Jason Yates: Fast Friends Forever (October 24, 2017 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42268 42268-9593302@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 24, 2017 5:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Special Event: Tuesday, October 24, 5:30 pm at UMMA

Jason Yates, a Detroit native, currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Yates’ work focuses on a collaborative ethos and bridging the gap between various genres — namely art, music, fashion, and design. The rich cultural history of Detroit is hugely influential in Yates’ work and has been since his teenage years, when he became friends and artistic collaborators with musician George Clinton. He received his BFA from the University of Michigan in 1995 before moving to Los Angeles to study with Mike Kelley, Mayo Thompson, and Liz Larner in the MFA program at Art Center in Pasadena. Yates formed ‘Fast Friends Inc.’ a collaborative project to disseminate art outside the conventional gallery system and to distribute the work on the artist’s own terms. Chris Kraus writes in Where Art Belongs: “Yates is an exceptional artist.” For six years as Fast Friends Inc., he created band posters for Ariel Pink, Matt Fishbeck (of the band Holy Shit), and others that are also original art works.

This University of Michigan Bicentennial event is presented with additional support from Wasserman Projects and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

All Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentations are free and open to the public; visit http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps to view upcoming events.

Co-curated this semester by Diana Copeland, Will Copeland and Craig Regester, this interactive public course will focus in the first three sessions on the interconnected crises facing everyday Detroiters around water shutoffs, home foreclosures, public schooling, labor and gentrification.

In the last five sessions, however, we'll turn to an exploration and further creative development of the many grassroots community responses happening in Detroit that are pushing back against efforts to privatize practically everything in the City.

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.
